Wordless Wednesday - "Tuesday Edition"

The Mirror of Death, detail of the funerary monument of Philippe de Guèldre, duchess of Lorraine and queen of Sicily (1547). I have always had a special fondness for funerary art such as the wonderful example depicted above. I guess they bring back fond childhood memories of tending to the family plot with my Dad while growing up.

Happy Wordless Wednesday! And Thank You For Stopping By!

I enjoy strolls through cemetaries. I like older ones that have more ornate headstones, etc.

There's no other place that could be more peaceful than the cemetery.
